Charlize Theron Returns in The Old Guard 2 - and This Time, Uma Thurman’s Got Beef

It’s been five long years since we first met the unkillable mercenaries of The Old Guard, and now, they’re finally back - slightly older, possibly wiser, and definitely bloodier. The Old Guard 2 just landed on Netflix, and this time the stakes are even higher: Andy (Charlize Theron) is no longer immortal, the team is scattered, and Uma Thurman has shown up looking like she just walked off the set of Kill Bill with a personal vendetta.

The original cast is all back, but this time, Victoria Mahoney (who worked on Lovecraft Country and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) is in the director’s chair, promising a more emotional, character-driven continuation that still leaves room for mayhem.

And if you’re wondering whether Charlize is still doing her own stunts - yes. Yes, she is. Even while allegedly not being immortal anymore.

Netflix sequels don’t have the best track record, but The Old Guard franchise has always been a bit of an outlier - partly because the first film snuck in actual feelings between the bullet wounds. This time around, expect more exploration of Andy’s humanity, plus some stylish globe-hopping, sci-fi lore drops and emotional reckonings.

The Old Guard 2 is available globally on Netflix now. Check out the trailer below.
